Hi Team,

I've had issues with the driver side seatbelt for some time. Intermittently it will get stuck and now allow me to pull it in order to put it on. Its as if it thinks its in an accident or being pulled to fast and it locks up. I've tried any number of approaches in terms of how fast I pull it, which direction, etc. nothing works.

I've had a local shop open it up and look at it and they still couldn't fix it. Now buying the part new from the dealer to replace the seatbelt assembly costs $550 just for the part! So, my local shop has been looking at local junkyards and seeing if one comes up but so far no dice.

I hate to donate $550 to the dealer unless absolutely necessary and if any of you know of a website/place where I might be able to find this part I would greatly appreciate it. I can't continue having an intermittent seatbelt as its simply too dangerous but would rather not have to pay full price if I don't have to.

I appreciate your help as always.
